ASP Tip of the Week: "Issue Banks"

As you continue studying this semester, think of the major terms and concepts (say, the "top 30-40 concepts in each subject) that are likely to be tested by your professor. Draft up an "issue bank" or "issue checklist" with those concepts and continually test yourself on them, ensuring that you have working knowledge of each concept. You can do this in the form of a "skinny outline" as well, where you're reducing your outline until you're left with nothing but the basic concepts and the basic information you need to know about them.
